Perl has become a very important language for people to use to the point where there are so many courses around on it. It seems that every few years a new language becomes important in the online game and ultimately if you are interested in figuring out exactly what Perl is about, you might have to at least follow one of the free online courses in order to get that information.   However, software packages designed to help people are always useful and ActivePerl for Windows 5.8.8.822 is a great example of a very helpful software package.

It is a free and easy to install distribution of Perl that carries with it guarantees of high quality combined with one of the most comprehensive support packages for Perl around. It of course comes with the core Perl functionality and then in addition to that tacks on the Perl Package Manager that you can use to install any CPAN packages you might need. In addition to that, you also get some of the more popular modules for Perl as well as complete support through an online help function. Ultimately, it is the free software of choice if you want to really have full-length support for all your Perl endeavours.
